This week in lecture Putnam discussed the Watergate Scandal and how the “plumbers” flushed out potentially harmful information. In addition, they also snuck into the Watergate office complex secretly in order to attain information. Similarly, this past week my dorm was watching the film Harry Potter and there was a scene in which Harry and his best friend Ron snuck into the library using an invisible cloak in order to attain secret information. This scene immediately made me think about the Watergate scandal and I was pretty surprised as to the similarity between both occurrences.
